Ricardo Nascimento’s first half penalty and Themba Zwane’s 57th minute winner means Sundowns are now within three points of leaders Orlando Pirates and with a game in hand.
Baroka, who had midfielder Rodwell Chinyenkentere sent off with 15 minutes to go, dropped one place to 15th spot, now behind Chippa United on goal difference. It would have put some more gloss on his comeback had he taken a simple chance after just nine minutes when he combined with Zwane and Lebogang Maboe to find himself staring at an open goal but from close range somehow contrived to miss.
Nascimento expertly converted to give Sundowns as much as they deserved for their dominance in the first half.
